Competencies:

Background

• Setting
  • Your talent management consultant team (your group) has been brought in to help The Lion Health Care (LHC) System stand up a new set of services.
  • Your team will provide a proposal/action plan for what the human resource department and executive team will need to consider when planning human capital needs for this new integrated health care system.
  • You do not have every piece of information you need and will need to make some logical assumptions (just tell me what they are).
  • This will be a preliminary report and not an in-depth final report.
  • You are providing generalized recommendations and information in an executive summary format.
• Background
  • There will be an administrator at every facility.
  • Each student should choose the type of facility they know the least about.
  • FACILITY TYPES: The integrated system will include:
    • A 30 room, urban urgent care clinic that will be staffed by physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants.
    • A suburban physician practice with primary, oncology, gerontology, and orthopedic care. You will be looking for primary care physicians, oncologists, and medical technicians.
    • A 60 bed, rural, long term care facility that has its own physical and occupational therapy rehabilitation department. It will be staffed with licensed practical nurses, registered nurses, and certified nursing assistants.
    • An outpatient lab that will provide basic and advanced lab and radiology services staffed by lab technicians, radiology and ultrasound technicians, and radiologists.
    • An outpatient surgery center staffed with surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses, staff assistants, and medical records.
    • An Inpatient and outpatient mental health facility – staffed by board-certified psychiatrists, psychologist, and nursing staff

Notes:

• Solutions must be innovative
• Solutions must be benchmarked if not original and if original must have best practice backing – all cited.
• Each member of the group should select the facility they know the least about and be the main researcher for that facility.
• Members are encouraged to share information they may have about any of the facilities.
• The purpose is to broaden your knowledge about other types of facilities, professionals, professional associations, and specific human capital needs.
